Anitah Among, the Speaker of Parliament, has refused to approve the appointment of Francis Zaake, the MP for Mityana Municipality, as the Deputy Chief Whip in Parliament.
According to the Speaker, such a position does not exist within the Rules and Procedures of Parliament.
Among said that We do not have that position (Deputy Chief Whip) in our Rules of Procedure. We do not have it, so please withdraw it. We have a whip, who is yourself, but we do not have a deputy in our Rules of Procedure. If someone has been given such a position, it is not valid.
The Speaker’s decision came after John Baptist Nambeshe, the Chief Opposition Whip, attempted to assign Zaake to two positions: Shadow Minister of Presidency and Security, as well as Deputy Chief Whip.
